Mr. Houston was excused from further appearance after he had pre sented correspondence covering" ne gotiations and hart pointed out the impossibility of his reading them in full in the few days preceding March 4. He, however, left Nicholas Kel ley," assistant secretary in charge of foreign loans, at the disposal of the committee. Mr. Frierson filed with the District of Columbia supreme court a brief reviewing transactions with the for eign powers and declared there' was no necessity for the injunction brought by Mr. Hearst, as a tax payer, as Secretary Houston had no intention of establishing additional credits in favor of any foreign pow ers. He reviewed conditions under which money . was advanced to the Kercnsky government of Russia. He also asserted Secretary Houston did not concede -that the plaintiff possessed a status entitling him to call in question the variosu credits or that the court had any Jurisdic tion-to oetermine sucn a controversy.

" ' The senate committee today con fined its efforts tq the French, Czecho Slovakia and Liberian loans and announced it y,'ould examine papers in the case of each trans action until it had established whether the loans were legally made". Secretary Houston said he did not regard the armistice as causing "a situation which would prevent ad vances under the law" and that ex isting statutes gave him authority to continue loans until the president issued a proclamation of peace. He added that he ili'd not believe any i.ation would ask for new loans. ' Selection of Hughes Wins Much, Applause (Continued from- Page' One.)

' Wholesale Distributors- House Committee May Consider New Plan for Tariff Chairman Fordney Proposes Scheme Based ou Different Ra'les From Countries ' With Varying Costs. ( IUcuko Trlliuue-Omjiliu Bee I.-uitl VVire. Washington," Feb. 21 A radical departure involving the hying of different rates of duty on imports from countircs with varyipg costs of production, may be tried out by tha house. Ways and means committee in drafting the new tariff law. Representative Fordney of Michi gan, chairman of the .committee, has become conviccd that some sort of a scheme of this na ure is desirable if it 'can be shown to be feasible, constitutional and not in violation of favored nations clauses of commer cial treaties. "I' do not want to discriminate against Canada, which is our best customer," said Representative' Ford ney in explaining; the purpose he. has in mind. "If we make rates of duty which are high enough to pro tect our industries against Japanese competition and against German competition, they may prove pro hibitive when applied to Canadian imports. ' f it is possible to have one set of rates of duty to lie applied i against imports from , countries where tne cost oi production is yrry low and another on imports irom countries where the costs are not sft much less than in the United States, 1 believe it should be done." ( The general .scheme is to provide maximum and minimum duties and to arouse the proper officials to ap ply one or the other in accordance as to whether costs of production in the foreign country are high or low. I'estimony before the ways and means committee has been to the effect that labor costs are so lovy an Japan that .ate? of duty much high er than those in the former Payne Aldru'h act will be .necessary to provide adequate protection. With respect to Germany, the testimony has been that the present exchange conditions place costs in this country relatively about the same situation as in Japan.
